I do my own makeup for almost everything: Charul Malik

MUMBAI: Charul Malik, who is currently seen in Bhabhiji Ghar Par Hain!, says though she prefers doing her own makeup, on the sets of her show she lets the makeup person do it, as she utilises that time in going through the script.  

“I do my own makeup for almost everything, including events and red carpets. 99.9% of the time, I handle my own makeup. However, when I'm on the set of the show, my makeup artist does my makeup,” she said.   “I prefer this because I can use that time to read the script, which we receive just before the shoot, and we have to quickly go over our scenes. So, I don't do my makeup on set, but otherwise, I prefer doing it myself every day. It takes me about fifteen to twenty minutes, max,” she added.  

She also shared some dos and don'ts of doing makeup and said, “When you're going to late-night events or evening outings, where there will be a lot of lights, keep your makeup light. During the day, your makeup should look natural and not overdone. Use light eyeshadows during the day to maintain a natural look.”  

“At night, you can use kohl pencils, blingy, shiny, glossy stuff, but not during the day. Try to keep your colors pink and subtle during the day, and you can use loud and bright colors at night, experimenting with whatever you want,” she added.  

But whose makeup game from Bollywood are you a fan of? “I really like Deepika Padukone's makeup. In Bollywood, I love her styling, dressing, and makeup. It's always nice and flawless. I also like Alia Bhatt's makeup because she does minimal makeup, but it still looks great. Makeup should complement you. It should match your dress, the occasion, and the time of day. Everything matters,” Charul ended.
